Total Drama Psycho Noah AU, when Noah became Chris' Assistant, both Chris and Chef eventually learn how INSANE Noah truly is and how great Noah is at hiding it... As a lowkey psycho himself, Chris thinks that it's awesome... Noah would sometimes give Chris deadly ideas for the show! 😈

See, Chris himself literally states that he's fond of Scary Girl/Lauren in the reboot because she's so unhinged. Given that he's a bit (read: a lot) of a sadistic sociopath (/pos), it's pretty much a given that he'd have a weird sort of appreciation for characters who can keep up with his more dangerous tendencies; just look at how many cameos Izzy makes in seasons she's not even supposed to be a part of! And how many times Izzy manages to re-enter the competitions she's already been voted out from!

He's definitely got a bias towards the more psychotically-inclined characters.

So of course he'd think that psycho!Noah is awesome.

He'd be fully aware of just how insane Noah is, and how eerily good he is at masking such, just by proxy of being the show's host.

Remember, Noah spends the majority of his confessional time straight up mocking and taunting the audience with what he could potentially do, given his skillsets and lack of integrity, and his and Izzy's scheming is hidden from the contestants but the two of them are diligent enough to ensure that the cameras can pick up on their crazed ramblings and plots- it's good content, after all. So pretty much everyone on the production team knows that Noah's missing a few screws, and is very much so an 'accident' waiting to happen.

Not that he'd ever intentionally hurt anyone. It's still Noah, after all, and he's far more inclined towards psychological warfare than anything physical. Noah's got more self-control than his confessionals would let on, but he finds a twisted sense of amusement in threatening the viewers with his 'instability' and portraying himself as a wolf in sheep's clothing. In the same vein, he's not entirely morally bereft, or particularly violent (certain incidents non-withstanding), but his commitment/indulgence in the whole 'unhinged psychopath' display often overrides his better judgement. It's just so fun to let loose and go wild, sometimes.

(He's far more susceptible to violence when it's 'justifiable'. Duncan's a bully and a thug, and he's the one to physically accost Noah first, so he gets bitten. The Ripper is supposedly a murderer, trying to manhandle and kidnap Noah, so he gets his hand privileges revoked by means of two broken forearms. The whole 'painting the knife red' talk was a bluff on Noah's part, he was playing it up for the camera knowing that Owen would intervene- something to keep the audience on their toes, and something to add validity to his confessional threats.)

Maybe that's the reason they (Chris and Chef) take him on as a personal assistant in the first place? Given that p!Noah spends the majority of him time during Island secretly plotting and scheming with Izzy to cause as much chaos as possible, or intentionally being as unnerving towards the audience in his confessionals for his own amusement, whilst ensuring that the other competitors were none-the-wiser to his true nature (save for Duncan, eventually, in the TDDDDI special), he's the perfect candidate for someone who can keep up with Chris' wilder ideas whilst also maintaining a level of professionalism needed for showbusiness.

Because he can mask his less palatable tendencies, and he can do so proficiently and consistently enough to keep the people he's essentially trapped with fooled for ~8 weeks. That's an impressive, telling display of just how cunning and capable p!Noah is.

Though I imagine a lot of his assistantship would be Chris full-on enabling the real Noah, by tasking him with challenge preparation and encouraging him to make the challenges more deadly ambitious. It's like enrichment for the both of them; Chris gets to watch chaos unfold under his guidance, and Noah gets to actively cause chaos without having to consider the social/tactical drawbacks.

It also has the added bonus of giving both Noah and Chris an outlet for their manic energy that's relatively harmless, as opposed to letting Noah stew under his mask of indifference until he really does snap and inadvertently or intentionally hurt someone.

Note my use of the word 'ambitious' there, because that's pretty much the main defining difference between canon Noah and p!Noah (despite the obvious). p!Noah has goals and ambitions, something regular Noah lacks entirely, and these goals are to wreak as much havoc as he can undetected.

Luckily, that motivation coincide with Chris' goal of hosting an exciting show. He wants to broadcast drama, tension, and thrills to the viewing world- what's more thrilling than the perpetual threat of a crazy person finally snapping and ditching the façade? Letting said crazy person run wild with ideas that impact the whole show!

Not too wild, though.

Meanwhile, I imagine that Chef is the one to play peacekeeper between this dynamic duo and the rest of the production team, since he pretty much acts as a pseudo-caretaker/minder for Chris in canon anyway. The 'Voice of Reason', if you will, and someone hardy enough to actually confront the two should they take things too far.

She has to find her darling husband 😩

Edit: forgot to link the actual tiktok lol

[rottedsoulx]

Lloyd found Pixal on Chen’s Kai’s Island. Chen had a brief stint when he wanted to replace his servants with more obedient robot slaves. The first android he received, however, was resistant to his commands. He immediately gave up on the idea.

I like to think Kai was one of the drones that was made to guide Pixal to her cell, and he didn’t give her a second thought bc he was goin through his own shit. (+ the concept of robots=humans wasn’t something he nor anyone else on the isolated cult island had any concept of)

Anyways I want these two to have a nice emotional talk about this but not a clue on how to write that.

A KNIFE CALLED GRIEF.

You have left your house, you have left those people behind, but what are you going to do about the memories which have taken root in you? You can run but not without them. You want someone to sit with you on this cool marble floor while the sun burns everything.You want them to cut your rotten heart and theirs too. You want to sit with it in front of you, let them see you with all your flaws, which haven’t been your fault but you have been made to believe so, and you want them to love you anyways. Because you know you’d do that for them.

AN UNDOING INFLUENCE.

Can someone tell you what to do? You have been carrying so much love within you for so long it is starting to turn into anger (why does it matter, all you see is red anyways) and you have been dragging this body through each day and every night you are split open on your bed and it is so so so lonely. If someone were to walk in while you were on your bed that way and they stitched you back in a new way, lining the seams with their love and kisses, you’d probably find this dreary world a little more bearable. You want someone to turn you over and over until you look in the mirror and see yourself looking back at yourself with a gentleness which has been lacking in you since forever.

VIOLENT DEVOTION.

Everyone seems to think you are faithless, but the thing is you haven’t yet found someone who will bring you to your knees and make you raise your head in reverence. This world has stopped bringing you joy, you want more of the divine. You want to dedicate your entire existence to someone; you want to make them realise they are not something terrible, make them see just how much beauty they are bringing to this world. You want to be the only one for them, the only one they have chosen to love. There’s a god shaped pit inside of you and only they can fit in it. And what if they choose to walk away? Didn’t I say this was violent devotion?

A STORY THAT ENDS IN BLOOD.

The world has always been unkind, and when you have turned to yourself for comfort you have come face to face with an empty pit which seems to be laughing. You don’t care if it kills you but once you find someone whom you love and who loves you back, you will make sure nothing happens to them. They are yours. You will make a tear in this world and create a new place for you and your love if it comes to that. Because it has always been about love, and it is how it always ends.

CONSUMPTION OF A HEART UNLOVED.

Here’s a dining table, here’s a set of plates. Here’s your heart, red and bursting with love. You have tried to love people all your life, but no one seems to understand you. Your own mother perhaps forgot to teach you how to protect yourself, maybe people whom you trusted chose to look the other way when all you wanted was a hand full of love. All you want is someone to take from you, all you want is someone to dig in your heart and eat it and kiss you afterwards - bloody and red. You want them to tell you that you are what they have been looking for, you want to be the one who ends their hunger.

“James Bond novels to be reissued with racial references removed”

I've been a Bond fan since I was a kid. I read the comics, and getting to see the movies was such a big deal. I’ve only read two of the books, but they were fine entertainment. And that’s the thing here. This is not “great art” they are changing. And I was probably not going to read them ever anyway. So, it’s mostly a more general concern. “Sensitivity Readers” is an abhorrent concept, whether we are  talking about literature (for adults, or not), or any art in general. And it is misdirection; changing some old book to deflect attention from actually changing people's lives today. It’s about money and branding. It does not deserve to be taken seriously. It’s like removing the stink from rotten fish and keep selling the fish. All of the harmful stuff is still in there, you only succeed in making the most unwary miss it. Bond is colonialism, authoritarianism, violence, sexism, all sorts of crap. The “Sensitivity Reader” wants you to keep colonizing, keep empire going, just, you know, in a sensitive way. Don’t be crude about it.

Yaroslav Horaks inks will always rock, though. Those lines, those blacks, to die for.

[tired-reader-writer]

It's a dimly lit hallway, with walls covered in papers— some fresh as dew and some so old they've torn and faded to shreds. The writing has blurred on so many of these, it's hard to make out the full sentences anymore, only fragments of them. The fresh papers haphazardly slapped on top of the old ones certainly doesn't help with their legibility either— a cacophony of forgotten notes and half-formed sentences. Do they ever intend to tidy these walls up? I hope not, I like the chaos of it.

As we walk I hear chatter and laughter from beyond our footsteps. The floors seem to rumble with them, the walls thrumming with life. Despite the fast-approaching autumn chill this place is nothing but warm. I hope to find a home here, as many have. I hope to be part of it, as none other than my true self.

A snippet from the perspective of Jaime Bondler (aka not YuuMori James Bonde that I'd claimed for myself, totally not!). He's joining the rebel organization totally of his own free will and by zero pressure on his life and safety :) Also I hope to portray the part where he actually gets to choose his name.

How do Angor Rot and Avalon meet? I can't remember if you've covered this in a fic or not before but I'm curious how they ended up crossing paths 👀

Angor and Avalon....don't meet on the kindest of circumstances.

Lil background for Angor, his soul was locked up in a ring by Morgana le Fay centuries ago, and that ring is held by a changeling called Strickler, who works for the Janus Order. Strickler wants to use Angor as his personal assassin and guard dog. The Order gets an inkling that maybe Strickler isn't all too keen on completing the organisation's true goal: returning Morgana to the world.

So, in an attempt to try and get control of the situation, the Janus Order send in Avalon. Mind you, Avalon is a novice sorcerer that the Order picked up/kidnapped with intention of turning them into a vessel but ultimately failed, so they're going in unwillingly but without any capability to escape the situation. All Strickler knows is that they're sent by the Janus Order to assist him in against the Trollhunter and he can sense the bullshit from a mile away so he plans to foist them straight onto Angor for mutual babysitting.

However...their actual first meeting involves Avalon arriving in Arcadia unaccompanied, Angor getting a whiff of magic that reminds him painfully of the sorceress who stole his soul and locked it in that ring in the first place, and promptly goes on a rage hunt on this random sorcerer who barely fights him off and needs a convenient rescue by the resident Trollhunter and his band.

Strickler is not amused by these events.

TLDR; Angor and Avalon first met in hand-to-hand combat with Angor trying to kill Avalon. this is a ritual he has continued with their lessons.
